Found lump myself, on December 1, 2005, it was 1.5cm. I was 2 months late for my yearly mammogram. Lumpectomy on Dec 22. Was diagnosed Stage IV with 13+ positive lymph nodes and 2 small mets to my lungs. There was a chance that I also had 2 small liver mets but they have never lit up postive on the PET scans that I have taken, so they are presumed non cancerous..cannot biopsy because of location. Was on Taxototere, Xeloda and Herceptin. Was given the news that I was NED on April 7. Will be on Herceptin indefinately, doing scans every 3 to 6 months and keeping a watch on the liver spots. Have a 7 year old daughter and 17 year old son..I am 44. sherryg683
